MANY RUNS AND HITS.
One of the Poorest Games of the
Season Played at Memphis.

one OF Jn6 poorest Gdm6S OF Cu6
Season Played at Memphis.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 27.-Esterquest was de-
cidedly off in his delivery to-day and Stall
lings' back stop work was simply execrable.
His throwing to second was so wide Of the
mark that bases were stolen by Memphis
without the slightest risk. Esterquests
ineffective delivery seemed to discourage
those behind him and the fine fielding which
has heretofore characterized the Birming-
ham team was conspicuous by its absence.
Even the infallible Duffee and the incompar-
able BurkS made bad errors. Smith, of the
locals, after pitching for four innings and
having the game safe in hand, gave way to
Reccius. He was hit freely, and
all the runs scored by the
visitors were made off his delivery, Duffee
sending the ball over the extreme left field
fence, inside the foul line, as long hit as
was ever seen on the grounds. The feature
of the game was magnificent catch by d.
McKeough of a foul fly back of third base,
with one hand, after a long and desperate
run, within two feet of the bleaching
boards. The score by innings follows:
Memphis ........4 6 0 2 8 . 1 0-24
Birmingham. .......0 0 0 o 3 5 3 2-13
Batteries-Smith, Reccius and Crotty for
Memphis, Esterquest, Masran and Stallings for
Birmingham.
Base hits-Memphs SO, Birmingham IL.
Errors-Memphis B. Birmingham 10.

OFF ON A LARK.
a Happy Pair Expelled From the
Ocean House

An interesting, if not agreeable, affair oc-
CURED at Tybee Friday afternoon, soon
after j. Lutz and "wife" registered at the
Ocean House. They seemed to be a very
loving couple, and they were so highly de-
| lighted with each other and with the cool
sea breczes, that they became quite frisky
and attracted the attention of Mr..
Hodges, whose suspicious were aroused.
He began quiet investigation
and before long he learned
that Mrs. Lutz" was not Mrs. Lutz, and
he promptly informed the merry pair that
! the Ocean House was not big enough to hold
them. They were indignant at first, but
their indignation soon turned to wrath, and
in their anger they spoke in just way
as TO lot all the guests at the hotel
know what had happened, and that seaside
resort had as neat a bit OF gossip Tor the re-
malnder of the day as Long Branch could
wish for. The subjects thereof returned to
the city on an early train and Mrs. Lutz"
secluded herself but j. Lutz was not
through with his adventures.
He imbibed rather freely, and while in
his cups he got into an alteration with
Leo Mehrtens and had his throat cut. He
was taken to DR.. w. F. Reds drug store,
corner South and East Broad streets, bleed
ing profusely from what seemed a terrible
wound in his neck. Dr. Reid at once told
Lutz that he should see a physician, and
endeavored to call a carriage by means Of
the telephone He called in vain, for
although he rang up Central for over fifteen
minutes no response could be
obtained. Finally some one
who was having the same very exasperating
experience, and who heard the doctors calls
for aid, said over the wire that it was no
use to call on Central. He had been work
ing for half an hour, but had failed TO re-
ceive en- answer.
In the meanwhile the doctor had washed
the wound and found it not so bad as at first
thought. He dressed it carefully and told
Lutz TO go home and rest quietly. A car
riage had been sent for by boy, and when
it arrived Lutz was taken in and driven
home. The cut was very painful though
not serious one, extending from the back Of
the neck around on the left side to the jaw,
being fully four inches long.
Lutz stated that he was standing on the
corner of Drayton and York streets talking
to Mehroens when a quarrel began between
them Angry words soon led to blows, and
finally Mehrtens drew knife and stabbed
him. A friend standing near, named Mar
tin Haar, took him to DIR. Reds.
On the way home Lutz stopped
at the barracks and asked that
Mehrtens be arrested, and the Sergeant di-
rected him to where he could find mounted
man who would bring Mehrtens in, but the
mounted man reported that Lutz had not
seen him. Lutz was on the street last night
and did not seem TO be seriously injured.

PULLED OUT OF THE FIRE.
Charleston Wins Game from New
Orleans in the Last Inning.

OA1Cciio IA bA1O IeAcV
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 27.-Three thousand
people saw great game to-day. 1t was a
battle of boxmen, as neither side made a
costly error, although superior fielding by
Glenn, Powell and Hines about saved the
game for Charleston. Each pitcher struck
out the side in one inning, and both did fine
work. Widner, the pitcher, is very regular,
but few hits at critical times, and the inabil-
ty of the locals to hit Hungler, settled the con-
test. Singles by Glenn, Hines and Powell
in the third, and Glenn's good running
yielded the first run for Charleston. Not
another run was made until the eighth inn
ming, when New Orleans tied the score.
Widner hit safe to centre, and scored on
PowelPs single to right and Child's throw to
second With two men on bases and one
out Cartwright hit fly to left, and Glenn
made a double play by throwing
Powell out at the plate, In
the ninth inning Geiss hit the ball
safe in front of the plate and reached sec
ond on Nlller's hit to Hines, although Hines
claimed to have touched him, and scored on
Wells single to left. New Orleans looked
upon the game as won, but in the ninth,
with one man out, Carl hit safe and scored
on Corcoran's two Dagger to left. Williams
single and Campaus' ragged throw in let in
the winning run There will be two games
tomorrow, Smith and Aydelotte pitching
in the morning and Widner and Hungler
in the evening. Both teams leave to-mor-
row night for Charleston. Umpire Tom
Barrett has resigned, and John Berkery, a
veteran ball player, has been appointed.

A Novel Theft.

AT the Ocean Steamship wharves, where
a hundred or more negroes are employed,
their time is kept by means of numbers.
Every laborer is given brass check or tag,
with his number on il. This number is
credited with all his work and on pay day he
presents his check and receives the amount
there is 10 the credit of that number.
Naturally the owners guard their checks
carefully, but the negroes who live by their
wits sometimes steal them, and presenting
them at the pay window, receive another's
money, and off they go. Yesterday George
Meyers and Frank Arnold lost their checks,
hut they very shrewdly posted themselves
near the window. and when James Gal
laway and Ed. Wiley came smilingly up
and presented the stolen checks, they
pounced on them, and almost before they
were aware of it, zone Of the finest had

they were locked up on a charge of larceny

THE LATE BISHOP ELLIOTT.
A Sketch of His Life and Work as a
Soldier and Minister.

Soldier and Minister.
Bishop Robert Woodward BaInwell FL
lott, whose death was announced yesterday,
was native of this city and it was here
that his early life was spent. He was the
son of Bishop Stephen Elliott, the first
bishop of Georgia, who for many years was
the rector Of Christ Church, this city. The
late Bishop Elliott was born here i'm 1870
and he was educated in this city until he was
ready for college. He took his collie
giate course at the State University,
Columbia. S. c., where for a number of
years his father was professor of belle let
tres, prior to his entrance in the ministry.
Soon after he had completed his education
the war broke out, and Bishop, then Mr.
Elliott, entered the army as adiutant on
Gen. Lawton's staff, and he made an en-
viable record as gallant soldier He vas
sevely wounded at the second battle of Ma
nassas but soon recovered completely.
After the war he began his preparation
for the ministry. He was ordained deacon
in 1867 and priest in 1868. Both ordina-
tions took place in Christ Church. After
entering the ministry he went to New
York. and for year he was the assistant
of Rev Dr. Montgomery. He was then
chosen rector of st. Philips, Atlanta, and
he was in charge of that parish when
he was etecteu MISSIONARY BISHOP
of Western Texas. In that field
Bishop Elliott has labored hard and faith
fully, and he has left behind him record
for good work that will last longer than a
monument He was sent by the general
convention to Mexico some years ago when
there were some troubles among the mission
aries there, and his work then was success
full as were all his efforts. He was an earn
est, faithful worker, and by his death the
Episcopal Church loses one of its ablest
Bishops and most earnest supporters.
In 1868 Bishop Elliott married Miss Caro-
line Elliott, a sister of DIR. w. II. Elliott, of
this city, and five children were born to
them, all of whom, with their mother, sur

The steamer Chattahoochee which arrived
here yesterday morning encountered a ter
rifle gale on Wednesday last when she was
ten miles north of Cape Hatteras. The wind
blew furlously all Wednesday and that
night but lulled slightly Thursday
BY noon, however, its force had increased
again and the blow continued until mid
night. At IL o'clock Thursday the Captain
found that he was just where he had been
at the same hour on the previous day, and
all his efforts had not driven the ship for
ward foot. The vessel bore the storm we'll,
and when she arrived she was none the
worse for the venture, except that her paint
was somewhat stained. Eulogistic resolu-
